"The Late Show with Stephen Colbert"/CBS; YouTube Stephen Colbert on Tuesday's "Late Show" mocked Paul Ryan, who's under attack from both liberals and some conservatives for his defense of the President Donald Trump-endorsed healthcare bill and supposed hypocrisy when to comes to Trump.

But Ryan failed to see that as a strike against the plan, insisting that the bill still provides access to affordable health care for many. In his response, he also highlighted the CBO's findings that the plan will provide tax relief and decrease the federal deficit. In one interview, Ryan said the report "exceeded" his expectations.

"Really? Twenty-four million people losing their health care exceeded your expectations?" Colbert responded. "You sound like the most optimistic guy on the Donner Party. 'Oh, everything's great! I expected to eat my grandma miles ago.'"
